Evaluation of Biofield Energy Treatment on Physical and Thermal Characteristics of Selenium Powder

Abstract

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element, and its deficiency in the humans leads to increase the risk of various diseases, such as cancer and heart diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of biofield energy treatment on the physical and thermal properties of the selenium powder. The selenium powder was divided into two parts denoted as control and treated. The Control part was remained as untreated and treated part received Mr. Trivedi's biofield energy treatment. Both control and treated selenium samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis -differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD data showed that biofield energy treatment has slightly altered the lattice parameter (0.07%), unit cell volume (0.15%), density (-0.14%), atomic weight (0.15%), and nuclear charge per unit volume (-0.21%) in the treated selenium powder as compared to the control. The crystallite size of the treated selenium powder was reduced considerably from 106.98 nm (control) to 47.55 nm. The thermal analysis study showed that the latent heat of fusion was 64.61 J/g in the control, which changed to 68.98, 52.70, 49.71 and 72.47 J/g in the treated T1, T2, T3, and T4 samples respectively. However, the melting temperature did not show any considerable change in the treated selenium samples as compared to the control. The FT-IR spectra showed the absorption peak at 526 and 461 cm -1 , which corresponding to metal oxide bonding vibration in the control and treated selenium powder respectively. Hence, overall data suggest that, the biofield energy treatment considerably altered the physical and thermal properties of selenium powder. Therefore, biofield energy treatment could make selenium even more useful nutrient in human body.

“…The National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has been recognized and accepted Biofield Energy Healing as a Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) health care approach in addition to other therapies, medicines and practices such as natural products, deep breathing, yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, meditation, massage, special diets, homeopathy, progressive relaxation, guided imagery, acupressure, acupuncture, relaxation techniques, hypnotherapy, healing touch, movement therapy, pilates, rolfing structural integration, mindfulness, Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese herbs and medicines, naturopathy, essential oils, aromatherapy, Reiki, cranial sacral therapy and applied prayer (as is common in all religions, like Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism) [25]. The Biofield Energy Treatment (The Trivedi Effect ® ) has been extensively studied with significant outcomes in many scientific fields such as cancer research [26], altered antimicrobial sensitivity of pathogenic microbes in microbiology [27][28][29], biotechnology [30,31], genetics [32,33], changing the structure of the atom in relation to the various metals, ceramics, polymers and chemicals materials science [34][35][36], altered physical and chemical properties of pharmaceuticals [37,38], nutraceuticals [39,40], organic compounds [41][42][43], and improved overall growth and yield of plants in agricultural science [44,45]. Herbal extracts and herbal drugs despite of their outstanding in vitro results exhibited poor or negligible in vivo activity, because of their reduced lipid solubility or improper molecular size, causing deprived absorption and thus poor bioavailability [1].…”

Evaluation of the Impact of the Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup> -Energy of Consciousness on the Structure and Isotopic Abundance Ratio of Magnesium Gluconate Using LC-MS and NMR Spectroscopy

“…The object or recipient always receives the energy from the ionosphere of the earth, the "universal energy field" and responds in a useful way. This process is known as The Trivedi Effect ® -Biofield Energy Healing Treatment [17,18] [20,21], cancer cells [22], plants [23,24], animals [25], medium [26,27], materials [28,29], pharmaceuticals [30,31], nutraceuticals [32,33], organic compounds [34,35]. The scientific study indicated that Biofield Energy Healing Treatment (The Trivedi Effect ® ) might be an alternate method for increasing or decreasing the natural isotopic abundance ratio of the substances [36][37][38][39].…”
